Rangers, Kakko Agree to Entry-Level Contract

[Future]

I'm happy to announce that for the first time since my father passed away in 2012 our family owns season tickets. My brother and I got barstool seats with the counter in front of them for food/booze on the East Balcony, the side the Rangers shoot on twice, to keep the tradition alive in our family. I will definitely be at every preseason game and the home opener. Home opener should be a hell of a night. A lot of guys will be introduced to the Garden faithful for the first time in their careers. Looking forward to welcoming the new faces and the new era.

How do you like the barstool seats? I've done them at Amerks games and always liked it, but that was kind of because we didn't give a shit about the game lol.

$65 for a pre-season? Is that normal?

That's....a lot.

Never been to a pre-season game before so I'm not sure.
Can't ever get into a regular season game at the Garden for under $100 though.

Congrats man. You're in for an incredible ride. You're living out my dream.

I've had those seats at the Garden and think they are great. You definitely have more space to move around and don't have anyone jostling you. The views are also good.

Congrats Loth! I'm jealous as hell. I live in FL so the only Rangers game I'll see is Nov. 13 or 14 vs. Tampa.

People are acting like we are a shoo-in for the Cup, did I miss something?

Who?

I haven't seen a single person mention anything other than maybe making the playoffs. People are excited. Is that not allowed?

[josh]

This is why we can’t like nice things!

Not sure anybody is thinking parade but I completely agree tapping the brakes is probably a good call. So many players some are counting on haven't played a game at this level and I still think we have a ton of question marks like guys that showed very little last year or just not enough to be difference makers.

[CBrowningPI]

Being excited to watch this new roster is completely different then saying we'll win the cup. But we'll definitely win the cup.

The entire off season, apparently.

Did I say being excited wasn’t allowed? But a lot of people need to slow it down a bit, we haven’t even seen many of these kids play a preseason game

I'm just not sure what the issue is? Who's getting ahead of themselves? Who's claiming we're cup favorites?

[AliveIn94]

A Coyotes like season barring injuries would be great, building momentum into next season.

I never said claimed, I said acting. Maybe I’ve been reading a different board, idk

It’s going to be extremely exciting to watch this team.
I think they’ll have stretches where they’re really good, and stretches where they suck. It’s probably going to be a lot of entertaining hockey, because I don’t expect them to be very good at keeping the puck out of their net. We’ll see loads of 6-4 games, I’d imagine many of them will be losses.
I think they can be competitive-ish (Carolina and Caps probably too good for them)in the Metro and mayyyybe push for a WC spot. But if they don’t it’s fine. The Rangers don’t have to make the playoffs this year. And that’s another reason why I expect this season to be enjoyable. They can afford to let these kids develop and find their feet in the league.

101%. Exactly right.

For me, they're the Gardens best kept secret. We kind of insisted on it with the season ticket rep (actually took quite a bit of hassling because at first there were "none available" and then when we freaked out at them about the non-refundable deposit they caved). Have to use the bathroom? Just hop out your seat. Want food/booze? Turn around. Leg room? Check. Elbow room? Check. A place to put your food and booze that's NOT delicately balancing it on your lap? Check.

We actually got the seats after the lottery but before the draft. We were expecting to see Kakko but never thought we'd see Panarin and Trouba's first games too.
